Must be how she got the NBC gig -

"Melana and her parents, Steve and Eugeneia were selected for NBC's Hit Reality TV Show "Meet My Folks."

I don't really understand the point of this show. Can a smoking hot Miss America contestant/NFL cheerleader fall for an "average joe"? Ummmm, no.

And I have to agree with the poster that made the comment about the hypocricy of the guys. They all complain that women overlook them because of their looks, then they fall in love with a total stranger because she's beautiful.

Gotta love the idiots that are all sunburned. -ohbfrank-

And I didn't know M. Night was on the show:

Definate loner weirdo. I expect his temper will get the best of them. The closeups of the guys was not flattering. So far I have to root for the small nerd with the soul patch.

Alright, I really don't like Melana. She's a sorority girl going for the only frat boy in the bunch. She's so fake that she reminds me of a lot of the small time actresses I've known from LA. Ick. Most of those guys are too good for her.

How was she able to spot that that Zach was an ******* when she first met him and then totally make out with him on their first date?

i think Kocky Zach is one of the paid average joe by nbc to be on the show.

guess tonite ep, Melana elimated the joe[s] who weigh over 200 lbs, and all the nerds.

the remaining 6 joe[s] are either movie director, jocks, and above average joes.

Clearly you don't know many women. :)

[Female "logic"] She wants to "change" him. See, he's a dick to other people, but "inside" he's really a good guy. That's why he's different when he's around her. He's not just acting that way to sleep with her and then treat her like shit when he tires of it. She can help shape him into the decent man she wants him to be. [/Female "logic"]

Pretty predictable really. She wants to believe she's not shallow by humoring these guys and talking about how she wants a good sense of humor and intelligence and a good heart and a good father for her children, but in the end, she's about what you'd expect.

Zach's probably a lot deeper than the editing shows, but he's still a tool, probably the biggest on the show. Everyone else there realizes that he's socially awkward and dorky; Zach thinks he's the shit, but he's just as big a dork as the rest of them, only he's too big a tool to realize it. It's really quite funny.

If she continues down this path, expect her to be crying to her male friends in a few months about why she can't just find a "nice guy." :( -rolleyes-

:thumbsup: Melana definitely lost pts in my book last night. It was pretty rude of her to talk to Zach while the other guy was scaling the rock.

It will be entertaining to see all of this play out.

I think Melana has realized quickly that she isn't going to find Mr. Right on the show, so she's settling for the best "Mr. Right Now" to hook up with until she can collect her paycheck and go home.

If Zach wins, expect every dork, dweeb, and nerd in America to start acting like a--holes.

I hope Melana realizes the consequences of picking the show's only a--hole.
<hr>
Dennis, you shot yourself in the foot more than any other guy on the show. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY would you tell her you're a thirty-five-year-old virgin (so soon after meeting her)? Not all information needs to be shared right away.

If Brad doesn't win, I expect him to be arrested within six months for violating a restraining order. He's a total freak.

John, poor guy doesn't realize what a pity kiss is. Probably the first time in his life he's ever been kissed on the lips. If a girl gives you a peck, it doesn't mean she's madly in love with you.

Which one was Brad again? The cleancut guy with dark hair who told Malena he hadn't had sex with a lot of women while he was giving her a massage? That was one of several cring-worthy moments.

That was very sad.

I don't think I've ever watched a program where I have -ohbfrank- so much.

yeah, that wierdo.

Most "dorky" guys know that game already but have enough respect not to treat women that way. Still, there probably will be a rise in the classic ******* treatment. Despite my actions around here ;), I'm a pretty good guy in real life, yet I definitely went through my "be an ******* to get laid" phase when I was a teenager. That whole "be yourself, and treat women with respect" thing never worked half as good as "be a dick, objectify her body, and treat her like shit in public." Women love that shit ... God knows why. -rolleyes-

As for Brad, I agree ... dude's got issues. He's the one talking about how, "if the group voted, they would have sent me. She's just picking him to weed him out ..." Jackass. I'm surprised she kept him around ... actually, I'm not.

The first episode was a bit fun and interesting, but this one was really hard to watch. It bordered on cruel at times - not really the episode itself, but what the show is doing to these guys. I don't think some of them are really emotionally stable enough when it comes to relationships to be on this show.

And is it any wonder that John takes a simple kiss so seriously when he starts crying over his "best friend," a guy he only met a couple days earlier, getting sent home?

Yeah, but nobody was forced to be on this show.

"Reality TV"'s sole purpose is to exploit people, yet the exploited people ALWAYS have a choice. I refuse to ever give any of those people any sympathy.

I hated how they kept promoing the "twist that will shock us all" and told us to stay tuned in to see it, then never showed it and said it would be next week.

Next week they'll probably say it'll be the next week, so on and so on. How much longer is this show going on, anyway? till Dec?

Let's look at the facts about the upcoming twist:

1. We see a door opening with a blinding light behind it.

2. We see Malena's jaw drop in shock.

3. We hear one of the guys say "Oh my God!"

Could it be...The Second Coming?

For some reason, I have a feeling it could be someone well known from another reality show. Don't most reality show contestants have a 'no-compete' window of 1-2 years?

Well, Malena herself was on "Meet my Folks" last summer.....

well, that eliminates Dennis, unless he and Kathy Griffin "got busy" once he was eliminated......

Well, that was NBC, too, so maybe it's a network thing.

Yeah - I think it is a network thing.

My guess: ex-boyfriend who only broke up with her because of life circumstances (long-distance, alcohol rehab, death in the family, etc.).

That's what I said to my wife. The second he told her he was a virgin I said he would be eliminated.

DAAAANG! I think I know what the twist is!!!

POSSIBLE BIG SPOILER (although it's still just a guess):

Kinda like the new Joe Millionaire brings someone back, probably Linda.

Are these reality shows trying to play God? :eek:

Also: my wife said Dennis wouldn't be that bad if he fixed his teeth and got a better haircut. I think losing the glasses would help. Maybe those are fake teeth?

I'm wondering if that should be in spoiler tags, Buford?

I added them but I'm not sure if it was needed since it was speculative and the basic info about the person's elimination was already posted.

Anyone have an opinion?

wow...this show is funny and sad at the same time.

That guy is creepy.

:lol:

Though this move was expected, it is funny as hell.

edited:Those spolier tags

oh jeez. I'm completely straight, and even I think is attractive.

:lol:

This is ridiculous. She should just go for the more attractive guys so these others realize the usual facts of life. Hot girl will hook up with hot guy. She was already going for the most attractive guy in the bunch (Zach) and now can move into her own league.

The gootee guy should just thrown in the towel as he really doesn't have a chance.

Brad's such a jackass ... I'm glad he's finally gone. Same with Jerry ... what a tool.

Zach won points today for his reaction to the new guys, saying something to the effect of, "keep it together, guys."

Personally, I'd be happy to see those fancy guys walk in. If she's a shallow whore, then who wants her anyway. I'm surprised John's still hanging around, though; I figured he'd have run her off with all the "falling in love" talk, but I guess not. That, or Jerry's toolness, Brad's psychotic behavior, and Tariq's anger were just more annoying.

Brad knocked himself out of the game when he talked down about Zach. The look of suprise on his face when he was elimated was priceless, the guy was completely clueless.

With the new addition I must say this show just got really interesting. I can't wait to see how this turns out. As of now I'm rooting for Adam, he seems like a cool guy and hasn't played himself out yet.

Also seemed like Malena has decent taste in movies.

I think John's in love with Cuba Gooding Jr.

I was kind of dreading the twist, but even though I knew what it was going to be, I still really enjoyed it. I think part of the reason is that I want to see Zach taken down.
